Ap , parent ly, however, Clioa yielded tho rimiiiiand to Villa without coutro i veisy. The belief toduy was that liicy would join in the march to the south wurd. The civilian refugees from Chihua hua City, who, with the federal gar rison from the same place, finally ar rived yesterday afternoon at Ojln iiga, w-ro crossing toduy to the American side of tho border, evident ly having had enough of Mexico. It had not been learned here how many of them snccumbed on their heart-breaking eight days' march through thj desert, but It was report ed that the Jobs of life was consider able. Tho march, It was said, was like one long nightmare. The feder al troops, however, were quartering themselves In OJlnaga and fortifying th town as if for a long stay.
